I can't believe I have a child who is in the double digits. It is strange how I can remember his birth like it was yesterday and yet it seems like he has always been a part of my life. Christopher is so easy going and fun to be around. All of his teachers comment on how they wish all of their students were as great as Christopher. Even today when I was up at the school, a substitute teacher was there and she said, "I just want you to know what a good kid Christopher is. He always listens and does what I ask him."
This morning, we had pancakes and then we remembered we needed a candle to blow out so I put a sparker candle in. It was a little big for a pancake.
I took cupcakes up to the school at lunchtime. Christopher doesn't really care for sweets (definitely not my kid) and so it was so funny because all the kids were saying, "oh, yum, are these homemade?" and Christopher didn't even eat one. He said he was full.
Christopher opened up some of his presents before school this morning. He wanted an airsoft gun. A bunch of the neighbor boys have one and he has wanted one. He just so happened to get one that had one big one and one little one (so he could share with Garrett). What a nice brother!! He also wanted a wii game, Little League World Series. I guess he doesn't get enough baseball in on his own. He also picked out a cool new bat when we were in Utah this summer. He also was excited about the Ohio State Jersey.
After I took cupcakes to Christopher's school, I asked him if he wanted to skip school the rest of the day and go see a movie. He was so excited! He said this was the best birthday ever! It was fun to go the movie with just the two of us. He thought it was pretty cool too. He was so worried about Garrett though. Sure enough when Garrett got home from school, he was feeling awfully bad about not getting to go. 
I am sure the backyard is filled with about 1000 airsoft pellets. I wonder what Matt will say when he tries to mow them up. Christopher is getting excited for this weekend too. His Uncle Tom is coming to visit from Ohio. They are planning on going to the Astros Game, going fishing, playing in their first baseball game of the season and going to a Texans Football Game. What a great birthday weekend!
Happy Birthday Christopher! Hopefully, the next 10 will be just as memorable!
